PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.<\/p>\n
The platelets are cells in the blood, which are responsible for coagulation. If they are active for blood clotting, they also set free growth factors. It has recently been discovered that these growth factors can increase the healing rate\u00a0of transferred fat.<\/p>\n
By platelet-rich plasma is meant blood plasma that contains a higher number (concentration) of platelets than\u00a0normal – not enriched blood plasma. Around the world, research has been\u00a0carried out to optimize the use of PRP for autologous fat transfer. By using the latest technology, PRP can even be obtained without losing any blood.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
The latest techniques allow\u00a0up to a 5-fold concentration of PRP in\u00a0the transplanted fat. These parameters (5-fold concentration of platelets and one-fifth of the fat volume) allow\u00a0an improvement in the healing rate\u00a0of 15% – 30%. This is a similar\u00a0improvement to\u00a0stem cell enrichment, but is much less expensive. Above all, however, one requires no additional fat as is required\u00a0for the\u00a0stem cell enrichment, meaning\u00a0the “fat reserves” of the patient will not be depleted using\u00a0PRP method.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
